Track up to follow field edge next to covered reservoir. The disused railway line 1km to the south (now followed by Trans Pennine Trail) closed in 1981, coinciding with Woodhead's closure. The trackbed was used as an unofficial footpath for some years thereafter and played a small part in a major crime: in January 1992, Michael Sams made his escape on a moped through the tunnels after collecting a ransom for the release of estate agent Stephanie Slater, whom he had kidnapped.
